00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.359
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, I'm ting and welcome to Beijing. Bites your

2
00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:04.919
<v Speaker 1>go to source for the latest on the US China

3
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:08.599
<v Speaker 1>tech war. Let's dive right in, because the past two

4
00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:12.560
<v Speaker 1>weeks have been anything but quiet. First off, cybersecurity has

5
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:15.560
<v Speaker 1>been a hot topic. Just a few days ago, Deputy

6
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:19.199
<v Speaker 1>National Security Advisor Ann Newburger revealed that at least eight

7
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:23.000
<v Speaker 1>US telecom firms were hit by a sprawling Chinese hacking

8
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:27.600
<v Speaker 1>campaign dubbed Salt Typhoon. This isn't just any hack. It

9
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:31.039
<v Speaker 1>gave Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of

10
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:36.039
<v Speaker 1>senior US government officials and prominent political figures. The White

11
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:39.880
<v Speaker 1>House is on high alert, and Neuberger emphasized that impacted

12
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:43.479
<v Speaker 1>companies are still working to remove Chinese actors from their networks.

13
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.280
<v Speaker 1>But that's not all. The Biden administration has been busy

14
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:53.359
<v Speaker 1>tightening the screws on China's semiconductor industry. On December second,

15
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:56.960
<v Speaker 1>the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security announced

16
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.759
<v Speaker 1>significant new export restrictions on semi conduct equipment and technology

17
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:06.159
<v Speaker 1>destined for China. These rules are designed to limit China's

18
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:10.480
<v Speaker 1>ability to produce advanced semiconductors, which the US believes pose

19
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:15.400
<v Speaker 1>a substantial risk to national security. China didn't take long

20
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>to retaliate. On December third, Beijing imposed stringent export restrictions

21
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:25.519
<v Speaker 1>on critical minerals, including antimony, gallium, and germanium, specifically targeting

22
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:29.239
<v Speaker 1>the United States. This move is a direct response to

23
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.760
<v Speaker 1>the US restrictions on advanced technologies and marks a new

24
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.719
<v Speaker 1>level of escalation in the tech trade war one. So

25
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:39.920
<v Speaker 1>what does this mean for both nations? The US is

26
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:44.159
<v Speaker 1>trying to secure its critical technologies and limit China's military modernization,

27
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.519
<v Speaker 1>while China is targeting vulnerable US supply chains. The strategic

28
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>implications are clear. This tech war is about more than

29
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:57.359
<v Speaker 1>just semiconductors. It's about national security and global influence. Looking ahead,

30
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.239
<v Speaker 1>experts predict that this tit for tat will containe you,

31
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:02.879
<v Speaker 1>with China likely to turn the tables on US allies

32
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:06.359
<v Speaker 1>in Asia. The Daily Star notes that China will use

33
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Washington's technology weapons against its Asian neighbors in twenty twenty five,

34
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>making this a global issue. In summary, the past two

35
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.520
<v Speaker 1>weeks have seen significant developments in the US China tech war,

36
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:24.360
<v Speaker 1>from cybersecurity incidents to new tech restrictions and policy changes.

37
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:27.479
<v Speaker 1>Both nations are digging in and the stakes are higher

38
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.120
<v Speaker 1>than ever. Stay tuned for more updates from Beijing Bites.

39
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.400
<v Speaker 1>That's all for now, Thanks for tuning in, Thanks for listening.
